Overdue Portraits

It has been over a year since I took portraits of the kids.  Shannon was in a mood so I didn't get one of her.  I've inserted a "swing" photo.  Moody portraits just aren't that great, hee, hee.




Shannon has begun ortho work.  She has an RPE--rapid palatal expander--See the space between the front teeth.  Its working!

This is the best photo I could get of Whitney.  I think I'll try again later.

Puppyhood

If you were astute you noticed a puppy in a previous post photo.  Let me introduce her.  She is Hazel Belle, a golden retriever. We purchased her May 4th and promptly took her on a trip to Kimberly, ID.  I remember my family doing the same type of thing when we found Buffy, our bichon frisee puppy, many years ago.

Here's a photo of Buffy and me at Lake Powell.  When Buffy and I were motor boating, not paddle boating, my Dad suddenly slowed the boat because Paul had fallen down waterskiing.  Buffy went over the front end of the boat and the boat continued drifting over him.  (No worries. The prop was not rotating.)  He didn't pop up on either side of the boat, so I jumped in and pulled him from under the hull.

Girls' LAX

Shannon and Whitney joined a girls' lacrosse team.  They have had tons of fun and are pretty good at this sport.  They tease Brad and Mark that girls' LAX is harder than boys' because the girls' sticks don't have pockets to help cradle the ball--but, we won't go into that.

Some More Cute Kids in Kimberly

Cute Cids

Brad is soooo fun.  He lets me be involved in fun Prom stuff for him.  He and Ashlee W. were cute as a bug's ear.
